I wanted to try it out on my laptop (CentOS 5.6) and found that getting an RPM for installation was "hard". Also building one from source was not quite as easy as I would like it to be. So I fixed that ... and provided a patch via Jira https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2861 With this patch in place you can simply do "ant rpm" from a fresh checkout (assuming you have rpmbuild installed) and you get an RPM and SRPM. I not quite sure what your procedure is for integrating "unsolicited & unexpected patches" like this so I'm sending this message to the dev list. Would you like to integrate this ? If so, do I have to do anything in addition to what I've done so far? -- Best regards / Met vriendelijke groeten, Niels Basjes
